Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

There are so many equipment and teaching aid that could help a teacher to teach a new language to the students. Teacher needs to know the advantages and disadvantages of all the equipment and teaching aid before he or she starts lesson. Teacher also needs to know which equipment is useful or helpful for the student in a different level. The information and web-pages that are provided in this unit are very useful.This is another great unit focusing on speaking and writing, which is communication skills. As it was mentioned, writing sometimes takes second place as students and teachers prefer speaking more than the writing. Therefore, I enjoyed the second part of the unit that focused on writing skills. It basically helped me to understand how to present writing material to students and balance it out with speaking skills.
